The historical lineages inherited by the founders of The Gnostic Order of Christ are three (note: the lines are not indicative of any hierarchical structure):

Separation of Church and State:
The Rites to Ordain in the Lineage of The Priesthood After the Order of Melchizedek of The Order of The Holy Cross were received in revelation by Father Paul Blighton, founder of The Science of Man Church and the Holy Order of MANS, circa1967. While the Rites to Ordain were first received while Father Paul was head of the Science of Man Church, the reception and transmission of such Rites was a spiritual event and independent of any earthly church or order. The Rites to Ordain are spiritual in nature; such Spiritual Rites are not in any way connected to membership past or present in any particular corporate body as defined by any corporation or academic definition.

The Rites actually
establish the Spiritual Rite to Ordain a Priest or Teacher with the Apostolic Authority of the Host above in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ and may not be defined as endowed by any earthly corporeal or corporate body. Revelation and such Spiritual Ordination remains in the domain of and as a prerogative of The Holy Spirit.

The Lineage of The Order of The Holy Cross:
The Rite to Ordain

This Rite was first passed to five teachers of The Holy Order of MANS. Master Timothy Harris and Master J Anderson received the Rite to Ordain in 1970.
In 1988, The Holy Order of MANS converted to Russian Orthodoxy. Within a week of The Holy Order of MANS conversion to
Orthodoxy, Mother Ruth, wife of Father Paul and Co-director of the
former HOOM gave Master Timothy an updated copy of the ceremony for the passage
of the Rite containing the conditions of passage together with a copy of the
revelation regarding Master Timothy's independent spiritual authority.

The Immaculate Heart Servants of Mary

The Mantle of The Immaculate Heart Sisters of Mary was received in series of personal revelations through Father Paul Blighton from The Blessed Mother Mary between 1971-1972. The Lineage was first passed to Master M Marian Carter through The Holy
Order of MANS (1972). The passage of the Lineage of The Immaculate Heart Servants of Mary was originally called the Lineage of The
Immaculate Heart Sisters of Mary and was a sub order of the Holy Order of MANS. The Lineage is now passed through a spontaneous movement of The Holy Spirit from The Blessed Mother Mary to both men and woman.

Apostolic Blessing & Rite of The Wandering Bishops
of The Sacred Order of the Episcopate of Jesus Christ

The Apostolic Rite of the Independent Bishops Lines of The Sacred Order of The Episcopate of Jesus Christ are the lines of those called The Wandering Bishops. These lines stem back to the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ. The lines were passed to Master Timothy Harris (1984) and Master Jessika Lucas (1984) prior to their meeting in 1985. Together, and with others, Master Timothy Harris and Master Jessika Lucas founded The Gnostic Order of Christ for the continuance of these lines and the two lines above.
The Apostolic Blessing and Rite of The Wandering Bishops has been incorporated
into the Master Teacher Ordination. The Master Teacher Ordination is to be distinguished from The Apostolic Rite
to Ordain of The Order of The Holy Cross as a separate Lineage, however rules of passage require the concurrence of three
Teachers having The Rite to Ordain of the Wandering Bishops.
